Church and the Glasgow Stock Exchange. Burnet became a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects (FRIBA) in 1876. In 1882, he formed and architectural partnership with his son John James Burnet (1857–1938). As his son John James took a greater role in the architects' practice, Burnet was less active in the design of buildings, acting increasingly as a consultant. In 1886 John Archibald Campbell joined the partnership, and around 1889 Burnet senior went into semi-retirement at the age of seventy-five. John Burnet died in Glasgow on 15 January 1901, leaving moveable estate of £3,210 5s 2d.
